Oaken Barrel Gnaw Bone Pale Ale

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 6

pours a slightly cloudy wheat color with a hint of brown, with a frothy small head that dissipates nicely leaving a spotty lacing. The aroma is caramel malts and green herbal english hop. The taste opens with a lightly roasted malt profile, a brief pause before the flood gates open to a floral and green hop profiles which reach and last way into the finish and aftertaste of this brew. The mouthfeel is moderate carbonation and light in bodied, leaves the palate slightly coarse.

Sampled from bottle thanks to Micah. Pours copper-gold with a fain haze, thin white had an a bit of lace. Bubblegum aroma with a mild citrus hops and toasted malts. Bitter with some astringent hop flavor. Bready, carmelized malts too. Medium-full body. The mineral content of the water doesn't seem well-suited for this beer. Good enough for local drinking but I wouldn't seek it out.

Thanks Atpayne (Adam) for this baby. Nice opeer color with medium sized head. Aroma is pretty typical of an APA, midly hoppy with some malt and caramel. Taste is basically the same, nice and balanced with just a slight bit more hop than malt. Understand, it took me a while to see which won the battle here. The hop flavor is a bit raw, un-natural maybe? The finish is crisp and clean. I don’t see how this beer rates as low as it does. I enjoyed it.
